Cristiano Ronaldo’s Million-Dollar Engagement
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Million-Dollar Engagement is making headlines — the Portuguese football icon has proposed to long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez after eight years of dating.
The 40-year-old forward for Saudi club Al-Nassr and the 31-year-old Spanish model shared the happy news on Monday, August 11, 2025. Georgina posted a series of photos on Instagram, including one where she proudly showed off a massive diamond engagement ring.
“Yes, I do. In this and for the rest of my life,” she wrote, in a heartfelt caption translated from Spanish.
A Relationship That Started in 2017
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez first met in 2016 when Georgina was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. Ronaldo later admitted in his Netflix documentary I Am Georgina that he felt an immediate connection.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect it. But after a while, I knew she was the woman of my life,” Ronaldo said in the 2022 series, as reported by E! News.
By January 2017, the couple made their first public appearance together at the FIFA Best Football Awards in Zurich. A few months later, Ronaldo announced the birth of twins Eva Maria and Mateo via surrogate, followed by the birth of their daughter Alana in November 2017. Their youngest daughter, Bella, was born in 2022.
The couple is raising a blended family of five children:
- Cristiano Jr., 15
- Eva Maria and Mateo, 8 (twins)
- Alana, 7
- Bella, 3
From Luxury Moments to Home Comfort
Despite the lavish lifestyle that comes with Ronaldo’s global fame, the couple has often described themselves as homebodies. Georgina revealed in interviews that their happiest moments are spent away from the cameras, enjoying family life.
Still, she vividly remembers one early moment that felt like a scene from a movie.
“I remember him picking me up from work in a Bugatti,” Georgina recalled. “My coworkers were shocked. They came to work on the bus, and I left in a Bugatti. People couldn’t believe it.”
For Ronaldo, the grand gestures are secondary to the simple daily life they share in Saudi Arabia, where he currently plays for Al-Nassr.
Rumors and Reality
For years, engagement rumors swirled around the couple, fueled by public appearances and Georgina’s occasional Instagram hints. But the couple kept their relationship milestones private — until now.
This public confirmation not only ends speculation but also marks the next chapter in their relationship, one that fans have been anticipating since the early days of their romance.
A Modern-Day Football Love Story
Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has built a career spanning more than two decades, winning major titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and the Portuguese national team.
Georgina, once a retail assistant, has since become a public figure in her own right — a model, social media influencer, and the star of her own Netflix reality series.
Their engagement blends both worlds: the glitz of football superstardom and the relatability of a couple raising a large family together.
What’s Next?
No official wedding date has been announced, but given Ronaldo’s high-profile career and global fan base, the event is expected to draw significant media coverage.
Until then, fans can follow their journey through Georgina’s Instagram and Ronaldo’s Instagram, where the couple frequently shares glimpses of their family life, travels, and personal milestones.
